Should a 4x800 Relay or Distance
Medley Relay
be added to the state track & field meet?
|
As I look over a 3-day State meet schedule -- with the 3k on day 1, the 800 on day
1 & 2, and the 1500 on day 3 -- and a 2-day District schedule with the 1500
and 3k on separate days, it makes more and more sense to have an additional relay
event for the distance runners. At the end of the last day of either meet works
very well for all but the occasional individual that also runs the 4x400, as the
3k is gone from that typical end-of-meet spot. We have found that once a distance
crew achieves a moderate level of depth, there is a need for more competitive opportunities,
and a 4x800 would fill the void nicely. -Coach Dan Kaplan, McKay HS |

teams on the hypothetical list are Jesuit

New Hope Christian named honorary Sub-8 Club member for being the top team
at the 3a/2a/1a level. Their coach also created Athletic.net. This season 4x800Relay.org will give four t-shirts to Oregon HS teams that meet a
hypothetical 4x800 relay time of sub-8 (boys) or sub-9:40 (girls).
Only 80 t-shirts are available. At the end of the season, remaining t-shirts
will be given to teams participating in the Portland Track Festival 4x800 in order
of finish until I run out. |

Mark your calendar for this event hosted by the PSA Youth Running Club. There
will be a high school 4x800 relay (sponsored by 4x800Relay.org!) in addition to
many other Youth, Open, HS and Masters events. The only Oregon T&F
meet this summer better than the Portland Track Festival will be the Olympic Trials in
Eugene. Click here to go to the Portland Track Festival website

A big thank you to David Bowdoin and
Athletic.Net
for providing the 800m data which I use to calculate the hypothetical 4x800m times.
If your school does not have a hypothetical 4x800m relay time, then please have your
coach sign up with
